    Jay,

    You have re-stated things in a way that I can be more comfortable with. What
    I cannot understand is the inclination of many Christians to say things
    like, "I lost him, but it's the Lord's will." I do not for one moment
    believe that God willed Josh Speer to die and leave behind a grieving
    fiancee.
